“All Regional in Puglia and Campania we did something wrong. ” next day of the center-right, infused with disappointment at not having pushed against the Democratic Party and the government, Matteo salvini drops a not-so-veiled bomb at Giorgia Meloni me Brothers from Italy. Leaving aside Campania, where it was perfectly known that Stefano Caldoro would have no chance against Vincenzo De Luca, it is the defeat of Raffaele Fitto against the center-left governor Michele Emiliano.
And behind the words of the secretary of the Carroccio there is a clear message: Fitto, the name with which Meloni had stuck, was not the ideal candidate. Officially, no response has come from FdI and it is unlikely that the leader of the Italian right will decide to trigger an internal duel in the center right.
But, behind the scenes, the response from Brothers from Italy the former interior minister is detailed and insightful. Sources from the highest levels of the Meloni party explain to Affaritaliani.it that the League, especially in Puglia, should reflect well on its mistakes, before launching unfounded accusations.
First point. Salvini and his team tore the center right apart with an endless dance that lasted for months before accepting the name of Fitto, all with the candidacy for the Region of Nuccio Altieri, who would later become a pectoral deputy in the event of victory. A harmful waste of time, they explain from FdI, underlining with a pinch of poison that if the candidate against Emiliano had been Altieri and not Fitto there would not even have been a party with a defeat similar to that of Caldoro in Campania.
Second point. The League lists in Puglia were weak, with no names able to cross the electorate. Probably, they always say in FdI, to satisfy the many, too many, fliers (many of them former Fictians) who were looking for a seat in the Region. And this can be seen in the preference vote, where the consensus for the Northern League candidates is even lower than that of Forza Italia, which instead lagged behind Carroccio as a list.
Third point. Salvini did it all alone. He ran an electoral campaign in Puglia thinking about the League and voting by list, appearing only once with Fitto on a common date. Meloni, on the other hand, always counts from FdI, for example in Tuscany he played as a team with Susanna Ceccardi, obtaining considerable progress. On the contrary, the Lega and its secretary in Puglia have carried out an electoral campaign almost parallel to that of the allies and the candidate for governor. Perhaps with the pious hope of becoming the first match beating even Pd and 5 Stars.
Meloni and Fitto let it be done, also because each vote in the League would also have been a vote for the unitary candidate (no one in FdI thinks that the North League has opted for the split by rewarding Emiliano or other candidates). And the flop of less than 10% of the Carroccio of Apulia led to the defeat, given that the polls on the eve of the match spoke of around 16%, precisely those seven points that were left to defeat Emiliano. Ultimately, according to Melonians, Salvini has little to blame on his allies and would do well to avoid launching unfounded accusations, thinking more about his own mistakes.
